1. A method, comprising:

  • providing to equipment of a first party and equipment of a second party, by a processing system comprising a processor, information concerning selection of selectable characteristics, wherein the selectable characteristics pertain to a social relationship between the first party and the second party, wherein the selectable characteristics comprise fixed attributes and dynamic attributes, wherein the fixed attributes include fixed party information, and wherein the dynamic attributes include dynamic party information;

    determining, by the processing system, a first determined persona from a first plurality of personas for the first party and a second determined persona from a second plurality of personas for the second party based on a present interaction between the first party and the second party, wherein the first determined persona and the second determined persona are related based on the social relationship between the first party and the second party, wherein the first plurality of personas for the first party include a first root identity for the first party and the second plurality of personas for the second party include a second root identity for the second party, and wherein first additional personas of the first plurality of personas are linked to the first root identity and second additional personas of the second plurality of personas are linked to the second root identity;

    determining, by the processing system, an interrelationship between the first additional personas and the second additional personas based on the first root identity and the second root identity;

    generating, by the processing system, responsive to the determining the interrelationship between the first additional personas and the second additional personas, a first rule according to both first selections of the selectable characteristics received from the equipment of the first party and according to the first determined persona and second selections of the selectable characteristics received from the equipment of the second party and according to the second determined persona;

    associating, by the processing system, the first rule with the social relationship between the first party and the second party, wherein the first rule modifies settings of a network element to effectuate the first rule, wherein the network element provides a network-accessible service, and wherein the settings modified by the first rule restrict data accessibility of the network-accessible service;

    storing, by the processing system, the first rule in association with the social relationship between the first party and the second party;

    configuring, by the processing system, infrastructure equipment based on the first rule resulting in configured infrastructure equipment that supports access to the network element in accordance with the first rule; and

    providing, by the processing system, access to the network-accessible service via the configured infrastructure equipment.
